We are still waiting for v. 17 of the Journal of Pharmaceutical
Marketing & Management 2005.
We were told it would be published over a 2 year period. The last copy
we received was v.16; 4 of 2004. We subscribe through Ebsco.

On behalf of a colleague:

We also tried ordering through a subscription service as well as direct
but to avail. By the time we received the issues, the articles of
interest were out of date, so we dropped their service just because of
those problems. That is how we handled the problem.

My complaint about Haworth Press has mostly been based on the fact that
they don't seem to know what a quarterly publication schedule is.  Their
numbering scheme and publication schedule for some of their titles has
been goofy for years.  Numbering things from 1 to 4, for example, does
NOT make a publication quarterly if numbers 1 and 2 are combined and
numbers 3 and 4 are published a year later (and also combined!)

Some major publishers admittedly produce journals with even more erratic
numbering schemes or publication schedules, but it seems it would be
very simple for Haworth Press to adopt a more consistent schedule -- and
quit calling a

publication a quarterly when it's published semi-annually at best!

I guess if they get caught up with the electronic side of things, we
won't have to care as much about the numbering and issue dates.

That's my venting session for the week.  Apologies for not being more
helpful.
